Abstract: A vacuum cleaner includes a vacuum motor configured to draw air through the vacuum cleaner; a battery configured to supply electricity to the vacuum motor; and a control system configured to control the supply of electricity from the battery to the vacuum motor. The control system is configured to switch the vacuum cleaner between a first power mode in which electricity is delivered from the battery to the vacuum motor at a first power level, and at least a second power mode in which electricity is delivered from the battery to the vacuum motor at a second power level which is lower than the first power level. The control system is configured to monitor the extent of operation of the vacuum cleaner in the different power modes, and to provide an alert if usage of the vacuum cleaner in the first power mode exceeds a threshold.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and software are disclosed herein for enhancing ad-hoc online meetings. A service client, when executed by a computing system, directs the computing system to at least detect an in-room discovery signal, identify a room from the in-room discovery signal, identify a session based on the room associated with the in-room discovery signal, and join the session.

Abstract: Non-limiting examples disclosed herein describe processing capabilities for ad-hoc online meetings. In an implementation, an identifier is received that corresponds with a specific location. A proximity signal is received from one or more components associated with the specific location. The received proximity signal comprises one of: a modulated light signal, an audible sound, an inaudible sound and ambient noise. The identifier is validated based on a comparison of the proximity signal with a reference signal for the one or more components. A service identifier for a conferencing session is provided based on a validation of the identifier. In one example, a computing device is connected to the conference session based on receipt of a request that comprises the provided service identifier. In another example, the conference session is automatically transferred from a client computing device to a component associated with the specific location such as a room display device.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and software to enhance meeting technology. In an implementation, a meetings graph may be generated for a meeting between various participants in the meeting. An effectiveness of the meeting may be identified based at least in part on a comparison of the meetings graph to a model meetings graph for a model meeting. An indication of the effectiveness of the meeting may then be communicated to at least an application for surfacing in a user interface to the application.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and software are disclosed herein for enhancing ad-hoc online meetings. In an implementation, a service client receives an initial handoff of an online session from an initial service client that was ongoing between the initial service client and at least one other service client. The service client detects when proximate to an in-room service client. When proximate to the in-room service client, the service client initiate a subsequent handoff of the online session to the in-room service client.
